Official June 10th ACT Discussion

<p>excel,
The first time any test form is given, it's given in October to a selection of Ohio test centers. (The main national October test form may be brand new or it may have been given before, I'm not sure.) So if you test on any other test date, you are surely using a test form that has been given before, at the very least to those selected October test centers, and perhaps on other test dates. I would expect that the forms given in December, April, and June might be little more worn out than the others, since they release them afterwards and can never use them again.</p>

<p>anyone know if there was an answer choice of 6 root 10 for the parallelogram problem where you had to find perimeter?</p>

<p>it was 4 root 10.. each side was root 10 and there were 4 sides</p>

<p>6 root 10 was one of the choices according to some people.</p>

<p>the answer was 4 sq 10.</p>

<p>"6 root 10 was one of the choices according to some people. "</p>

<p>so far only one person has said that 6 root 10 was one of the choices. I dont kno if there was cuz i think i bubbled in that answer even though i knew it was 4 root 10.</p>

<p>anyone remember the anwer choices for the median question? I remember you have to rearrange the numbers from smallest to highest but i may have made an error cuz i think i bubbled in an answer that had .5 in it.</p>

<p>the median was 19</p>

<p>19 was the answer. I think it was B or C.</p>

<p>Did anyone take the Sunday test?</p>

<p>I remember one of the answer choices being 17.5, which you get if you don't rearrange the numbers. I got 19 also.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the values in this median question?</p>

<p>I just remember having #, #, 18, 20, #, #</p>

<p>Since there is an even number of terms (6), you average out the 3rd and 4th terms.</p>

<p>18+20=38/2= 19!</p>

<p>or just, you know, 19 is right between 18 and 20 ;)</p>

<p>Yes, but averaging out the terms is the "correct algebraic method".</p>

<p>well the correct algebraic method doesnt mean ****.... it takes a person 2 seconds to say whats in between 18 and 20... writing out 18+20=38/2= 19 is merely tedious, and shows that one can not think creatively</p>

<p>dont be a ***** for no reason. no one was saying anything offensive until you.</p>

<p>I didn't average them out on the test, lol. I knew the answer was 19 right away.</p>

<p>However, what if you have this problem?</p>

<p>**What is the median of these numbers:</p>

<p>5/7, 3/4, 1/2, 5/8, 6/20, 7/8**</p>

<p>In that case, it would be helpful to know the "correct algebraic method".</p>

<p>Unless, of course, a genius like you can get the correct answer off the top of your head.</p>

<p>i was not meaning to be offensive, i am sorry i offended you temple girl. However, if at the sight of one small debate you cover in fear, i suggest you pprepare yourself for a mighty shock called college</p>

<p>yes, however, the "correct algebraic method" was not needed in the ACT was it? I do not disagree that for more complex your tedious method may be marginally usefull, however in the case of the ACT, only an idiot who studdied their math textbook 4 times over would even consider using it.</p>

<p>What is the median of these numbers:</p>

<p>5/7, 3/4, 1/2, 5/8, 6/20, 7/8</p>

<p><- put them into decimals</p>

<p>5/7 - .714
3/4 - .75
1/2 - .5
5/8 - .625
6/20 - .3
7/8 - .875</p>

<p>Median: between 5/7 and 5/8, thus 75/112?</p>
